Online Media Resources
Finding images on the internet for classroom use has been a problem for many educators, for reasons such as copyright privileges, inappropriateness, etc. While there are a number of paid solutions for finding images, there are free alternatives that work nicely as well.
However, keep in mind that some of the sites listed below might not have built-in filters for images. These image search engines should be used either by educators (adults assisting students) or go in hand in hand with a school district filtering solution and Acceptable Use Policy.
Pics4Learning - Very popular site to find free, safe-to-use images for teachers and students.
School Clip Art - Great site for free school clip art.
Morguefile.com is a very large collection of high quality photos that are free to use and or adapt commercially without attribution. Photos that may be seen as objectionable are fairly rare on this site (use with caution, as you should with any website).
Veezzle - Wonderful free stock photo search engine.
Free Photo Bank - Easy way to find creative common images.
Open Clip Art - Great way to find free clip art.
